Concord Law School at Purdue Global offers a first-rate legal education with online flexibility and exceptional affordability. Purdue Global is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLCommission.org), an institutional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Concord is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California.

Accreditation by the Committee of Bar Examiners gives Concord Law School its authority to offer a Juris Doctor degree that qualifies Concord JD graduates who meet the regulatory requirements to take the California Bar Examination and obtain admission to the practice of law in California. Concord is not on the list of schools approved by the American Bar Association. The ABA Standards for the Approval of Law Schools currently do not allow for JD programs that are delivered fully online.

We’re very proud of the rigorous, rewarding online legal education program we have pioneered. Over the last 20-plus years, we have set the bar for developing and supporting innovative programs that revolutionize the way students can obtain a law degree. At Concord Law School, we strive to:

  • Deliver an academically competitive legal education in a distance-learning environment
  • Proactively support students with dedicated services and personalized guidance
  • Provide greater access to affordable legal education

State Bar of California Registration and Bar Admission

Study at, or graduation from, Concord does not qualify graduates to take the bar examination or satisfy the requirements for admission to practice law in jurisdictions other than California. A student who intends to seek admission to practice law in a jurisdiction other than California should contact the admitting authority in that jurisdiction for information regarding its education and admissions requirements.

A student seeking admission to practice law in a jurisdiction other than California may need additional experience/education to qualify for that state's bar. Graduates who pass the California Bar exam and gain licensure in California may then immediately pursue licensure in the states of North Carolina and Wisconsin. For licensure options in these and other states, students should visit the Licensure and State Authorization page for Purdue Global programs and confirm with their state’s admitting authority the legal education and other requirements for admission to the practice of law prior to enrollment at Concord.

Graduation from the Executive Juris Doctor (EJD) professional law degree program at Concord does not qualify a student to take the California Bar Examination or to satisfy the requirements for admission to practice law in California or any other state.
